Bharatbook added a new report on "Global market review of online grocery retailing – forecasts to 2014" looks at the major markets' adoption of online grocery retail, current trends within the sector, and consumer dynamics.

Online and internet shopping represents one of the fast growing sectors within the global food and grocery market at present, especially across the more developed parts of the world. With household internet access continuing to increase, the customer base for online grocery shopping is widening, while other technological innovations such as the advent of smart phones is further benefiting the market.

The global online grocery retailing market is dominated by the UK and the US, which together accounted for almost 75% of the world total in 2009. At less than 1.5%, however, online and internet channels still account for a very modest share of the global retail grocery market. Furthermore, food and groceries continue to lag well behind non-food items as far as the online retailing market is concerned, with consumers using the internet most frequently for booking travel and holidays, as well as for financial-related tasks such as banking.

This new report looks at the major markets' adoption of online grocery retail, current trends within the sector, and consumer dynamics. It also profiles the major food retail groups' online strategies and it forecasts the markets, trends, technological activity and corporate plans.
